At Pacific Hall yesterday morning funeral services were held for Simon Canter, who lost his life on the Titanic and whose body was recovered by the Mackay-Bennett. The hall, which is at 209 East Broadway, held several hundred persons and several thousand more gathered outside.
Canter was a Russian furrier who was coming to America with his family to establish himself here. His wife was saved from the disaster; his three children were lost. The body was brought to New York on Saturday. Mrs. Canter is staying at the home of a cousin, Mrs. G. Speiler at 1735 Madison Avenue. The interment was in Mount Zion Cemetery. Ex-Gov Black attended the funeral and addressed mourners at the hall.
